Website Redesign

The site has undergone an overhaul in design and layout Â by Susan Gallagher Design, and we’d love to hear your feedback. Â There are a number of new features on the site, which we hope will add to your enjoyment of DavidMcWilliams.ie. Â Thanks to everyone who made suggestions for improvements!

Facebook

The site now has Facebook integration which means you can share your favourite articles easily with your friends on Facebook at the click of a button. Â You’ll find the “Like” button at the bottom of every article.

Social Bookmarking and Sharing

Social bookmarking tools allow you to email pages to a friend, bookmark them, or share via Twitter.
A print button below each article offers a print-friendly version of each article.

Comments

The comments structure has been updated with clear threads and the most recent page of comments first. This should make it easier to find new comments on articles with a large number of comments. Â You can now upload your own profile picture / gravatar here. Your profile picture will then show up beside any comments you make on the site making it easy to spot points made by your favourite commenters. Make sure you use the same email address you registered with us.

Your Ideas

‘Your Ideas’ are now shown on the homepage making it easier to find and comment on ideas. Â Click on an author’s name to see all ideas written by that person.

Categories

Improved categories for articles will make it easier to find the information you need.
All articles are now categorised according to the categories below. Â You can log in and update your subscription options here to make sure you are subscribed to the categories you want.

Archive

A full browsable archive of all articles makes it easy to find articles and view their timeline. Â Alternatively use the search button at the top of the page to find what you need.
We’d love to hear your feedback.
You can get in touch by emailingÂ webmaster@davidmcwilliams.ie

Maybe I’m thick as a ditch but once I’m logged in (at least I think I’m logged in) I can’t see any way of adding a new idea to the list of ideas. I don’t reckon I’m doting so is this a design issue?.. though it is likely to be PEBKAC!

Thanks for the feedback! To add a new idea the process has remained the same. Simply log in and then go to your profile. Click on ‘Profile’, then ‘Your Submissions’ to add your idea. The link to your profile is on the Subscribe page, and you can updated your email subscription options on this page too.
